Transform Method for Stochastic Processing and Matching Networks
Sushil Mahavir Varma, Prakirt Jhunjhunwala, Daniela Hurtado-Lange +1
Modern service systems, ranging from cloud data centers and ride-hailing platforms to healthcare facilities, operate at massive scales where it is important to handle congestion. Q…
Right-Sizing Communication and Recommendation Set Size in AI-Assisted Search
Jing Dong, Prakirt Raj Jhunjhunwala, Yash Kanoria
We model the interaction between a user and an AI driven recommendation system. The user initiates the process by conveying preference information through a costly and noisy messag…
Exponential Tail Bounds on Queues: A Confluence of Non-Asymptotic Heavy Traffic and Large Deviations
Prakirt Raj Jhunjhunwala, Daniela Hurtado-Lange, Siva Theja Maguluri
In general, obtaining the exact steady-state distribution of queue lengths is not feasible. Therefore, we establish bounds for the tail probabilities of queue lengths. Specifically…
On the Linear convergence of Natural Policy Gradient Algorithm
Sajad Khodadadian, Prakirt Raj Jhunjhunwala, Sushil Mahavir Varma +1
Markov Decision Processes are classically solved using Value Iteration and Policy Iteration algorithms. Recent interest in Reinforcement Learning has motivated the study of methods…
